From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2 Description of problem: it's nice that ext2online was added, but this tool could only enlarge mounted filesystem. What about shrinking one? resize2fs which is in the fedora versions of e2fstools*.rpm isn't in the EL rpms, but in the tool called ext2resize which meen to replace resize2fs (or be a rename) isn't also not in the both installed packages(s390 or s390x). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): e2fstools-1.35-7.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: no one, because missing command Additional info:
resize2fs was disabled for the initial RHEL-4 GA release because of last-minute conflicts found with online resize. Those have been fixed and resize2fs will be reenabled in RHEL-4 U1.

Correct; it will be reenabled in RHEL-4 U1, in package versions e2fsprogs-1.35-12.1.EL4 or later.
when does RHEL-4 U1 get released?
U1 went out months and months ago. U3 is now available via RHN so you should be able to grab that and get the fix to the reported issue.
